EC: Student Centered Mentoring

Student-Centered Mentoring is a collaborative approach for mentors and mentees that focuses heavily on the impact of students’ learning using layers of support from foundational to in-the-moment learning. Beginning at the top is the first layer that encompasses the start of many beginning teacher programs using a student-centered approach. Student-Centered Mentoring is more than just a structure to put in place to support mentees and mentors, it is also a shift in our collective mindset, another layer. Then, we have observational learning. All educators find value in watching others learn. So, why not learn together? The last layer of support incorporates Student-Centered Coaching into the new teacher and mentor partnership through Mentor Coaching Cycles. Strategies from each layer will be highlighted throughout the session!
